Quick’s breakout season in 2014 was cut short by a shoulder injury that the team had feared might be career-threatening. The former second-round pick out of Appalachian State was diligent with rehab, and he’s expected to return for Week 3 of the preseason Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Rams now have two big bodies for new quarterback Nick Foles to locate in the secondary, with Quick and Kenny Britt both 6-foot-3. Diminutive Tavon Austin, a breakaway threat less likely to play every down, could be the second wide receiver starter this week.
